This is stupid, 8 winners is not enough especially when it's $1500 per ticket

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  

Not sure if you would still hold that view if you had won.
I think that many winners is perfectly fine.  

There will be opportunities at later dates to join the lottery again for the same items.

And spend more money for something again and I only have a chance of receiving? At least make it like the chili katana event thing. I think around $500 each and 25 Winners

The chances of a person winning the purple gun with 5 tickets was around 0.8%

I know there's gonna be the arguement that "hey it's a lottery so it has to be rare" but this basically means we have to spend 75000 gralats per year to get the gun we want and spend around 390000 gralats per year if we want to participate in every lottery that gets hosted.
*That is if there is a new lottery every week ofcourse, otherwise it'd be around 195000 gralats per year if it's every 2 weeks.


So yeah, that's a lot of gralats wasted for barely getting a chance of winning anything so I can agree with there being more winners or lower ticket prices.

the only reason you say that is because you can probably sell something and have enough for thousands of lotterys,
i have to grind for hours for a vip much less gambling which has apparently a .8% chance
not doing lottery until the odds are evened out a bit.  

Howdy!

The ticket price is 1500 per ticket as you know, however it won't change to 500 it is more likely id raise the price sometimes depending on the item. It is not a giveaway it is a lottery and you enter at your own risk. No one is saying you need to enter but you most likely want the item if you enter.

If you would win an item I'm sure you be more then happy since you only payed 1500 for one ticket (depending on how many you bought). The reasons why there is only 5-8 winners each time is because the items will be used again and giving out 25 items each time would result with all people in olwest getting the item. If you do not like these terms id recommend you to not enter the lottery because these are the rules. However lottery have been a success so far and i wish you the best of luck if you enter.

The lottery was created to give players a chance to win cool items, since most of the nice ones are in gp and hs shop. It is a fun thing and I'm hoping i don't get more complains in pms regarding this since we only doing this for the players.

Did we ask?  

I forgot to add that around 5000 tickets were sold for the purple gun which means 5000*1500=7500000 aka around 7.5 million gralats in total
So assuming the 8 winners bought 5 tickets each it means around 7.44 million gralats are removed from the game each 2 weeks if this keeps up.

You also have to keep in mind that you can join for 5 years without a single win if you're really unlucky


In my eyes this is basically a ripoff as the prizes are so limited and the cost so high.
Tickets becoming 500 gralats each with a 10 account hour requirement and somewhere between 10 to 20 winners sounds more reasonable to me.

This will just get the same counter arguement about it being a lottery and your own choice though so I guess this discussion leads to nowhere at this point

As you said it is a choice.
It is not an obligation.

If you do not think the lottery is fair then do not buy a ticket, same applies to a real life situation.  

make players can only buy 1 ticket that will give more chance to poor players.  

Will the same player be able to win again?
